[quote=Anonymous]My 14-year old lives and loves to play sports--two in particular. But as he progresses through middle school, it has become clear that he is a skilled athlete, who really knows his games, but is just lacking that essential fire to be really good at them. He was just moved down from the A to the B team in his current team and he as looks toward high school is beginning to understand that he may not be able to play on the teams there. Given these have been his whole life, how do I help him find a way to feel okay about this? I can tell it's making him feel bad, and I think is really affecting his self-esteem all around. I have encouraged him for years to find other interests, but nothing seems to interest him. Has anyone else helped there not so great athlete get through high school feeling happy enough not playing or at best, riding the bench?[/quote]
